As we look back on the show 65 years after its debut, we remember the talented cast that brought the characters to life. Chuck Connors, who played the lead role of Lucas McCain, passed away in 1992 at the age of 71. However, his portrayal of the tough and skilled rifleman is still remembered by fans of the show today.

    Sad to see that Johnny Crawford passed away.I remember watching him on the Rifleman. We were both the same age and watched him growing up.Back in the 60s just about every show on prime time was either a western or a cop series.
